(AP) — Many students at a historically Black college in Missouri returned from Christmas break this week dressed in black, mourning the suicide of a beloved administrator who had alleged bullying and racism by the school's white president.
Today, a white president at an HBCU is a rarity, she said.
Just 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Lincoln University, anti-racism protests erupted at the University of Missouri’s Columbia campus in 2015, forcing that school’s president to resign.
One Black student at the overwhelmingly white campus went on a weeklong hunger strike.
Friends of Candia-Bailey said Moseley was never a good fit to lead the historically Black university.
